Gingerbread Cake

This cake is kinda like quick bread -- spongy and nice -- and
comes under the "treat" category. It has sugar and buttermilk
and egg whites in it, but I allow myself to have it occasionally.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (don't substitute more white flour -
the cake'll be gooey)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup non-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup applesauce
1/2 cup molasses
2 egg whites
Powdered sugar for dusting

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly coat 8x2x2 baking pan with
nonstick cooking spray. In a large bowl, combine flours, brown
sugar, cinnamon, ginger, baking powder and baking soda. In a
small bowl, combine buttermilk, applesauce, molasses and egg
whites; add to flour mixture. Beat until combined. Pour into
baking pan and bake 30 to 35 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes, cut
cake into nine squares and dust with powdered sugar.
